Earlier, Winterhawks defenseman Joe Morrow went in the first round to the Pittburgh Penguins with the 23rd pick, and right wing Ty Rattie went in the second round to the St. Louis Blues with the 32nd pick.

All four players will have an opportunity to attend training camp with their respective NHL teams in September, but all are expected to return to Portland for the 2011-12 season.

This also marks the fourth time the Winterhawks have had four
players selected among the top 60 players in the same draft. The last time it happened was in 1983 when Cam Neely (No. 8, Vancouver), Alfie Turcotte
(No. 17, Montreal), Randy Heath (No. 33 New York Rangers), and Gordon
Walker (No. 54, New York Rangers) were drafted.
